Pete , what is RBW ?

R & R the throttle plates is a critical process . You have to scribe their position with a pic or awl to make sure they are back in place PERFECTLY . I see no benefit in removing the throttle plate . P.S. it is a free country , if you are attempting this the first time , I do not recommend it .

I clean throttle plates/bores on vehicles ALL the time . I get satisfactory results using carb cleaner , toothbrushes , small round wire brushes , small wire brushes , etc. When I was a lot younger I thought I had to remove the throttle plates to get the job done. Not anymore.

You leave those throttle plate mounting screws ALONE . 99.999 % of the time they are Loctited or staked in to discourage removal.

I will try the Honda dealer tomorrow

I have no idea what they are up to

Can you post a pic of this stuff ? I want to be sure I am going to get the right stuff .

And , that ain't a good thing ! It seems as though anytime the patriarch gets out of the business and the kids or a new cabal takes over , things go south quickly . They "know" how to fix things and make it more ________ and then closing in less than two years .

I wonder what the interest is ? $28k ?

I am too lazy to look , what wheels are on this bike ?

Buddy , trust me . You will not have an issue that a member has not had at one time or another .

Every mod a person does to their bike , is done because of their personal taste , We all have seen mods that look pathetic amd keep our mouth shut . Whew , the V11 is a bike that requires a lot of thinking before adding to / changing things . Little things make a big difference and members here can see changes.

For the BEST quality "stuff" , go to places that sell aircraft quality parts . They have to be good quality . You don't need your fixed wing or rotor vehicles on the side of the road because you bought something from Temu because it saved you 10% on the relay or is a counterfeit part. BTW , there are counterfeit Motorcraft and AC Delco parts selling on all kinds of websites.

Please understand that Amazon sells cheap , not quality . Make sure about what you are buying

You better know if that off ramp is a sweeper or a 90 degree turn . I used to do EXACTLY that until I was up in Ky and went to do this . I found myself grabbing hold of every cast iron rotor on my 87 SE to come to an almost stop and then going 25' , then a complete stop and appreciate what just happened and living to die another day . There is nothing wrong w/playing Rossi , just make a practice lap first .

That is why I said "post it for sale HERE" .

BTDT . If you get something from across the water & want to return it , post it for sale here and try to sell it . If it doesn't sell , put it in a box and keep it . I wiped my butt on about $800 worth of Guzzi stuff going back to Mandello del Lario .

How he came up with that pronunciation is beyond me.

Mmmm . Are they segregated by red frame / black frame ? NVM . I see the answer a few posts back .

My Suzuki did NOT enjoy it either . I got maybe a gallon in my bike . It was a long 15 mi. home .

After thinking , I will have to say "IDK" to all 3 questions and take a stab at #3 . I would suspect the oil spray on the bottom of the pistons may cool the pistons enough to lower the piston / cylinder temperature enough to change things , I am not sure.

Now , at one time you could have said the motorcycle was an art form . IDK when modes of transportation stopped being "art" designed as a creation of the creator to become "we have to make what the consumer will buy" and what the Zeitgeist dictates .

Wgat is the story with the anchor ?

This is a goooood time to install 5 pin relays in all ports . Glad to hear you are up n running !

I hear ya
